Gibson Maestro Ranger Overdrive Pedal

Inspired by the overdriven tones of some of the world's most cherished vintage tube amps, the Ranger is a modern, all-analog overdrive pedal featuring a Mode toggle switch that provides two different tonalities: a warm, expressive, amp-like overdrive, and a second tonality that's slightly cleaner and exceptionally touch-sensitive. The second mode blends in some of the clean signal, making it a great choice for use as an "always on" effect that can be controlled with your pick attack and your guitar's volume control. The Ranger's classic 3-knob layout provides intuitive adjustment of Gain (amount of overdrive), Tone, and output Level, with plenty of volume on tap to go well beyond unity gain. You can easily use the Ranger Overdrive as a boost to hit the input of your tube amp harder for even more grit and dirt. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it's on, so you'll always know when the effect is active.
